Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign
Celeritas writes "Sun is making some noise over their latest x64server entries by doing a fly by over Dell's HQ yesterday. A few pictures were snapped to capture the event. Sun has continued the offensive by running some interesting ads as well as designing some that were rejected due to the controversial content or as Sun calls them 'bold ad concepts'"
Dropping leaflets is the step before shock and awe.
"Watch out Dell!?" That's a threat if I ever heard one..
Dell followed up by sending a B-52 on a bomb run over Sun headquarters. Sun was not available for comment.
Scott McNealy is officially insane.
Want a new computer?
What don't you all just go to Dell!
Easy as Hell! (whoops!)
READY.

-Not yellow box, but Sun love you long time.
-Dell Sucks: Sun swallows. You owe us one. Buy our servers.
-No, that's not IBM biting my ass. DELL SUCKS.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Sun Microsystems is about to make you its bitch!
(Because we know how well *that* campaign is remembered.)
20 comments, and the images are still available. I guess the new servers are ass-kickin machines.
PLEASE for the love of god let there be a photoshopcontest
"Scott McNealy is going to make Dell his bitch"
Worked well for John Romero, I'm sure it would work great for Sun.
I'm just surprised they didn't call the server line "Xtreeeme64".
Sometimes my arms bend back.
Reminds me of when Sony launched the PlayStation. They sent out a guy in a Crash Bandicoot outfit to harrass Sega execs on the golf course, and caught it all on film.
That porno-mag style interview with the SunFire server near the fire place is very interesting - more proof that porn and technology go hand in hand. What kind of website would reliable, beefy server hardware be more suited to than a pr0n operation?
Without a proper flamewar, Anonymous was undecided on what shell to run.
The Sun Opteron boxes are also Microsoft certified for Windows 2003. That had to make McNealy chafe.

Dell, the name Osama Bin Laden swears by.
When you buy Dell, it makes the baby Jesus cry. You don't want to make the baby Jesus cry, do you?
Hey Dell, we just fucked your girlfriend.

Shouldn't that be "WATCH OUT, DELL"?
I am forced to conclude these marketing shops hire chimps as editors.
Why, just last week, I ran through the neighborhood screaming "I HAVE CABLE TELEVISION!". Nobody seemed to care, though.
Isn't everyone mad at management?
Why using an OR with your previous post? The poster was obviously retarded AND did not read the article.
Michael Dell: I'm trying to make computers for kids to take to college.
Scott McNealy: Your mom goes to college.
The 1RU has dual power supplies. I like that. The Dell might as well, but personally I'd buy a Sun over a Dell. But then I'd rather wax my butt crack with an angry wasp than buy a Dell.

"Marketing 101 class that I took oh so many years ago."
Quick, get the holy water!
- Apple Ipod - fucking Apple, forcing that shiny 40gb mp3 player down my throat.
- Satallite Radio - what fucktard thought it would be intelligent to beam radio from space directly to me, particuarly when im watching TV
- Tivo - I wish I could skip through this Tivo commercial.
- The original 1984 Mac - what a horrible flop THAT was, clearly the largest waste of an ad campaign eVAR!
But *incredible* products just fly off the shelf at their own free will, with no advertising what so ever! Like...- Segway - I've never seen an ad for a segway! These devices are going to CHANGE THE FUCKING WAY WE BUILD CITIES!!!
- Rokr - Subpar MP3 and Cell Phone in the same device; that's the wave of the future. All the advertising money spent on Nano? No worries, Rokr will change the future.
- Daikatana - If youre still reading, I eat people.
Wait.... a CS nerd, who hasn't changed in three weeks, calls out a 10 billion-dollar-a-month-industry that is Advertising -- on the amazing revelation that "good products sell themselves"? When you aren't furiously masterbating to Inu Yasha and reading slashdot, please go to your MKTG 101 class this week.HJ
Mr. Goatse, is that you?
Informed Customers would rather wax their butt cracks with an angry wasp than buy a Dell. On the other hand, they like our dual power supplies.
